What is the International Series?
There are eight events in 2024, and with elevated prize purses, the International Series is the jewel in the Asian Tour schedule!
The International Series consists of eight events with elevated prize funds on the Asian Tour.
Over the 2024 season, there will be eight tournaments in the International Series. The action will take place in England, Africa and Asia, with a trio of events being held in the Middle East.
The events have a higher prize purse than regular Asian Tour events, with a total of $2 million in prize money usually on offer at each tournament.
These eight tournaments also provide the perfect opportunity for players plying their trade in the LIV Golf League to earn Official World Golf Rankings points.
The series only dates back to 2022, and there has been at least seven events on the International Series in each calendar year since.
The winner of each season-long Order of Merit then receives a place in the LIV Golf League for the following season, so there is plenty on offer for golfers on the Asian Tour.
Jazz Janewattenanond, Andy Ogletree, Carlos Ortiz (below) and David Puig are among those to have won International Series events in the three-year history of the series.

Mention a European country, and Matt will tell you which resorts make the National Club Golfer Top 100s: European Resorts list. He might even throw in who designed the golf course and how many rooms the hotel has got at each one…
Matt got into the game of golf from a young age, following his old man to the local golf club. He fell for the sport, and now can’t seem to go a day without thinking about how to improve his game (Thanks Dad!). Matt has been a member of Howley Hall GC in Leeds since 2020, and is just about managing to maintain a single-figure handicap. He likes to remind people that he once broke 75, but won’t tell people that it was on a shortened course during the winter.
He moved to Leeds after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree in Sports Journalism. Matt joined NCG after almost five years travelling the world with the Professional Squash Association, working on events in all four corners of the globe.
Matt currently plays a Cobra King LTDx driver and RadSpeed 3-wood. TaylorMade monopolise the rest of his bag, with a SIM UDI, M5 irons and both Milled Grind and HI-TOE wedges, along with a Monza Redline putter. He uses a Vice Pro Plus golf ball, because he’s a bit different…
Away from golf, Matt is a Manchester United fan, and a keen runner, having ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (his first and possibly last), in May 2023.
